Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every morning I read the news. This morning I felt like our corrupt government was blowing smoke up my ass. Then I realized, that was what I felt yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. Like their fascist, illegitimate president, our government continues to lie to the American people, mostly by hiding the truth. I read a lot, and I know the truth. When our government attempts to protect Trump and themselves from exposure related to their failure to perform the jobs for which they were elected, they must be subject to close scrutiny and investigations for displays of cowardice, hypocrisy, and corruption. Then, they must be forced to leave Washington by your vote. It was during the George W. Bush administration when the unconstitutional Patriot Act and ICE were created. The Patriot Act violates the fourth and 14 th amendments. ICE has become a gang of thugs and Trump’s personal gestapo. This is the truth. I’m truly sorry you will never hear o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aerial photographs prove that the protests against Trump’s personal gestapo were minimal. The reported “massive violence” reported by the right-wing propaganda machine, Fox News, was isolated, and not an action by the majority. Trump sent thousands of men and women from the National Guard, and nearly one thousand members of the United States Marine Corp to Los Angeles. Why? Was a show of Marshal Law necessary? Were lives or property in danger? No. It was a pure act of political power and he simply decided to do whatever he wanted to do. Only dictators, fascists, Nazis act in such a thoughtless and immoral manner. “Trump’s folly” cost taxpayers more than 100 million dollars. It was all for naught. Fox handpicked isolated incidents and reported them as the “big picture.” One last thought, and it’s a fact: Trump is America’s biggest traitor and should be rotting in a prison, or possibly Guantanamo Bay at this very minute.

In March of 2003, George W. Bush and his ignorant and over-reactive administration decided that instead of properly funding our nation’s existing Border Control, they would create a new agency, costing millions of dollars a year for political reasons. They named it “Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” However I.C.E. has become Trump’s personal gestapo, and its proper name is more apropos. It is another Republican failure I call it an “Incompetent Criminal Enterprise.” “We will only be deporting illegal immigrants focusing on criminals, drug dealers, and gang members.” Another lie and broken promise from Trump. Over the last four months, I.C.E. has been arresting and placing American citizens, men and women who have legal residence in America, and anyone who is not pure white in detention centers awaiting deportation to God knows where. The truth is, the right wing’s move towards extremism and finally fascism did not begin with Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin. It began in 1981 i...

Trump is a Nazi and ICE is his personal gestapo. He promised to deport criminals and illegal immigrants, but of course, he lied. After covering Trump closely for the last 10 years, I still have no answer to one question. I understand how he became a white supremacist, but when did he focus on Hispanics as the one race he hates beyond all others? It should be clear to everyone that he ordered the removal of any and all Hispanics, even if they earned legal residence in the United States. And once again he is intentionally inflicting even greater pain by separating parents from their children. This is torture and he is enjoying inflicting pain on others. Part of being a malignant narcissist is a lack of compassion while enjoying the suffering of others. Trump’s mental incompetence is escalating. What’s next. Will he create his own form of “death camps?”  Which brings me to another question I have asked myself tor a decade: Has Trump ordered the murder of anyone in his life? He has com...

Trump is now supporting his form of “selective immigration.” It won’t surprise you, the immigrants he wants to bring to our shores are pure whites and very wealthy. I smell Musk in this suggestion. Although the continent of Africa is predominately Black: north, south, east, and west, most of the wealth in South Africa remains in the control of white men, the same white men who supported apartheid. Trump would love to have more white oligarchs who are grateful to him for their ability to rape the working class simply for personal ambitions and avarice.   However, the word from South Africa is “no thanks.” Although these pure white billionaires would pay zero tax in the United States, no one wants to live in Trump’s America. I apologize. To call what is happening today Trump’s “America” is an insult to his 45 predecessors. Although many of our presidents were less than adequate, Trump will forever be labeled as the “worst of the worst.” Allowing Trump to be our 45 th and 47 th pres...

Co-presidents, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are sticking together. However, other members of Trump’s American Fascist Party are revolting, and once again the turmoil is about immigration and xenophobia. The H-1B visa program is important to America’s future. It allows students from foreign nations to attend our colleges and universities and find employment at our major tech companies, including Microsoft and Google. In collusion with right-wing extremists and the fascist manifesto called Project 2025, Trump adopted a severe and unwise stand on immigration. However, in the interests of America’s tech industry, Trump’s co-president, Elon Musk, announced that he supports the H-1B visa program. After his announcement, Trump offered his support for his new friend and ally. However, the most extreme members of his fascist party have been extremely vocal about their opposition and are now in conflict with their party’s leader. Convicted felon and one of the leaders of the most extreme branch of...

One of Trump’s many moronic plans, among Tariffs which will increase prices for consumers, and a national sales tax which will add to the grief of the working class, is a travel ban from several nations into the United States. More than any other industry, this will negatively affect the Tech industry. Microsoft and Google employ students from several nations under the H-1B visa program. It has become difficult to find qualified men and women in our universities who are capable of filling their needs. Much of this problem is the exorbitant cost of higher education in America. Each year American businesses lose some of our greatest minds simply because they cannot afford the cost of higher education. America’s co-president, Elon Musk, has offered his support for the H-1B visa program. However, right-wing extremists with fascist ambitions are demanding an end to the policy. Administrators and faculty from multiple colleges and universities have advised their foreign students to return to...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I begin by offering you an important fact. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to make a single decision which affected the American people and the future of our nation. He was told what to do on every occasion. However, if he disagreed with the advice he received, he made up his own solution s , including drinking bleach or shining a bright light up your rectum to kill Covid-19. He had nothing to do with selecting three unqualified Supreme Court justices. He was told who to nominate by the Federalist Society and Moscow Mitch McConnell.   This is important because if he is reelected, Project 2025 will become his entire agenda for the next four years. Every suggestion establishing an autocratic society in the 922 - p age document came from one of his speeches or a toilet tweet.   The mainstream media pointed to speeches and actions by President Biden which appeared to confirm his difficulty with the effects of aging. However, they are not doi...
